HELLO...Greetings to you...

	Today's post is another classic scam...There IS no inheritance, and this scammer is not trying to help you...he just wants your hard-earned money. Mr Paul Usman info@lee.com
to undisclosed recipients

Greetings to you,

My name is Barrister : Paul Usman Solicitor.A Personal Attorney to Eng.David,a national of your country who used to work with Agip Development Company here in Benin Republic.On the 6th of April 2009,my client,his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Ecowas Road.All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.  (There lives?  Really?  Nice grammar...)

Since then I have made several inquiries to my late client's embassy to locate any of his blood extended relatives,but this proves unsuccessful,After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail,hence I contacted you.  (So, the email was sent to an unknown number of recipients, but I'm the long lost heir?)

I have contacted you to assist in repartrating (Um...re-what-ing?) the money and property left behind by my client prior to his death before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $9.4 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 14 official working days.since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3years and some months now,

I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country with my late client,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $9.4million dollars can be paid to you,thereafter you and I can share the money. 48% to me and 47% to you,while 5% should be set aside for reimbursement of any expenses that may incure (Incure, huh?  As in, not cured?  Or did you mean incur but since you don't speak English you didn't know that?) during the process of the transaction or tax as your government may require,I will secure certificate of deposit and other relevant
approval documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.All I requires is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be execut (It will be execut, huh?  Sure it won't be executed?) under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect both of us from any breach of the law.

Please get in touch with me by my private email :
paul.usman551@gmail.com
to enable us discuss further.

Best regards,

Barrister Paul Usman.

NB:Pls include to me your private telephone and fax number in your response (Please include to you?  Um...really?  One would think these scammers would at least attempt to use convincingly proper English, but alas...)

 Never ever think that someone is just going to hand you millions of dollars.  Remember; if it sounds too good to be true, it IS!

If this post helped you or prevented a scammer from gaining another victim, let me know!  I'd love to hear your comments.

Good day to you, this is the second notice we are sending to you in regards
to your atm visa card left here in our office, we notified you about this
few weeks ago but we haven’t heard from you up till this moment.

Many other packages, which we are supposed to deliver together with yours
had already been delivered to their various owners and yet yours is still
here in our company. You can check on our website www.tnt.com track with the
written numbers below and see those whom we have already delivered; they all
have received their shipments in a good condition.

Tracking number:  415459624     ( already delivered )

This is the evidence of the shipments we have already made safely and no
complain.

Today we brought out some packages abandon here in our office, so that is
where we found yours sealed in an envelope. We had to open this all to find
out is an atm card.

Attached to this, is a letter sealed in the same envelope stating that this
card worth the sum $2.6 Million US Dollars also that it has already been
activated for use.

Reading down on this letter, which explains that the pin numbers of the card
will not be giving to any other person but you and it has to be from the
bank Oceanic Bank which issued this card. If you wish to speak with the bank
to acquire your pin numbers, you can reach the bank on with E-mail:
zplc81@yahoo.com  (Yep, that sure looks like an official email that someone at a bank might have...NOT...)
Person to contact, Mr. Mike Odili
The pin numbers will be issued to you by this bank; this will be when the
card gets to you tomorrow. We had a dispute with the (NICON) Insurance
office about your insurance certificate which they demand $155 for that, but
now all has been settled. We are happy to inform you that Your ATM CARD is
inside one of the ENVELOPES we are to dispatch today.

Since you are having it difficult (Having it difficult?  Really?)  to raise the $155 needed, the fee is now
reduced to $55 for you. So you can now send $55 only to receive your CARD. A
tracking number will be forwarded to you upon receiving the fee $55. The
agent will call you once the package arrives in your city then you give him
more directions on how to drive down to your house. You will need to sign on
the papers which he will give to you once the driver reaches your house.
After this, you have to call the bank for your pin# as this can not be send
in a mail to you for some security reasons. Note, you can also change the
pin numbers if so desire for your own safety.

You are advised to send a total sum of $55.00 via western union OR money
gram to the name of our receiving agent below.

Receiver's name_________Anagor lawrence ifezue
Country_________________Benin republic.
City____________________

Cotonou
Text question___________Today
Answer _____________is yes
Amount_________________$55.00

Forward the payment information to us immediately you send the $55 dollars
today. We are waiting your urgent respond so we can move out the card today.

Once the card is dispatched today, you should expect the arrival tomorrow.
So please we advice you stay and wait to receive the card personally because
we won’t like giving it to someone else unless you have an urgent place to
attend (An urgent place to attend?  Wow.  Great mastery of the language here.) then you must drop a written note with whom ever you ask to receive
it on your behalf.

Another classic scam here.  There IS no ATM card.  Only a scammer hoping to get $55 of my hard-earned money.  Remember; never, EVER pay someone to get what's yours.  If there truly is a prize distribution, then there should be NO cost to you.  And, remember to watch for poorly written English.  It's a tell-tale sign of a scam.  IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!

If this post helped you or prevented a scammer from gaining another victim, let me know!  I'd love to hear your comments.

Everyone loves Spam...

...right? Wait...the email kind, or the canned meat-food product kind? Actually, I'm referring to the email kind. Over the past several months, I've noticed an increase in the desperate emails from some banker in some foreign country who just has to talk to me right away about some delivery....of millions of dollars.

First of all, I find them hilarious. Seriously, if you're going to try to scam someone, at least do a spell-check on your email! Not only are these emails filled with bad grammar, but the story lines of these things are always entertaining.

I had the thought that perhaps, by posting these works of literary genius in a blog, I could prevent a victim - just one - from falling for these. So here you have it...the Daily Spam.

Now, granted, I may not post daily, but at the very least, weekly. And I'm sure there will be no shortage of material. So check back often when you need a laugh, or have nothing better to do.

And please...if you find this site while looking for info on a questionable email you've received, please leave a comment and let me know that my efforts are worthwhile!

Enjoy!
